Uh, you might know his tattoos. He has them on all of the hands of all of our friends. <laugh> and some on the necks and faces, unfortunately. Yeah. <laugh>. And, uh, for me, if you've seen Dolly Parton Mixed with and Justice for All on My Forearm, uh, that's from your boy. Hello. That's me and the guy. We have some very, I don't know the right word to use here, but strapping, strapping, strapping young guests.
Speaker 3 00:01:23 Strapping. Definitely not young though. Yeah. Yeah. Not
Speaker 2 00:01:25 Young. I mean, compared to me and Mike, you're young, so that's good. Hey, not by much. It's, yeah,
Speaker 3 00:01:30 Not much. Dude. I can smell you still your trail. Yeah. <laugh> your old people trail. I can smell it. And it's starting to like blend into mine. You can smell the dec decay. Yeah, I can smell the decay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:01:42 <laugh>,
Speaker 3 00:01:42 I could smell you rotting from a mal way. I'm that close to you though. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:01:47 Alright, boys. Lakeview. Hey, the pride of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Oh, now here in Nashville. Uh, I am a big fan of that. Mike, maybe not as much. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But I, I think it's dope. So why don't we start with like, I didn't know about you guys. It was abandoned Nashville until Mike told me about you guys. He was like, yo, listen, listen to these Lake V dudes. And I was like, okay. And I, and he was like, they're from Pittsburgh. And I was like, no, they're not. And he was like, yeah. And then I was like, realize that you guys came from like the rock scene. And I was like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Mm.
Speaker 3 00:02:27 Well, I I, I remember like the first time I, I think I started DMing with you, Mike, and, and I was like, wait, oh yeah, you're, you're in Ohio. I'm sure we have a bunch of mutual friends on here or whatnot. And you're, it's like, no, sorry. I, I heard you guys come through on a playlist and I I love it and it's great and yada yada. And I, I thought once I realized that y'all knew each other Yeah. That was like how Mike found out about you. But then he tells me he didn't. I'm like, man, we, we are really, we, we, we really aren't. We we're nothing special. I'll tell you that. You know, really? That's
Speaker 4 00:03:03 A view from Brad Wagner.
Speaker 3 00:03:06 Well, Brad, Brad's a saint. Shout out
Speaker 5 00:03:08 Brad Wagner,
Speaker 4 00:03:08 He's a saint. Check out these guys. And I was like, Hmm. I like them. Let's party. I, then we have, I slid into your dms and I was like, Hey, you guys are really good.
Speaker 5 00:03:18 Be my friend. You're like, you up? I was like, hell yeah, I am, dude. Yeah. What you guys
Speaker 4 00:03:21 Try to, what are you guys wearing? It
Speaker 2 00:03:23 Was only, it was only like 3:00 PM but it was
Speaker 5 00:03:25 Like, all I wanted was a free tattoo and then I got a friend out of it. You know. I know. Kind of sucks.
Speaker 2 00:03:30 Well,
Speaker 4 00:03:30 It's rough. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:03:31 Yeah. And, and it's kind of crazy too because like there is a Pittsburgh scene down, like that's down here now. Right. So like Alex Maxwell, you guys mm-hmm. <affirmative> like of course like the old school, like Steve Moler and stuff. There's Pittsburgh country music that is like happening in Nashville. But what you guys do is a little different. And I think it's cool cause it mixes those as like rock roots Yeah. With like, what's happening right now in country. Would
Speaker 4 00:03:55 You say it hits different,
Speaker 2 00:03:56 It just hits different. It does
Speaker 3 00:03:58 Hit a little bit. D different.
Speaker 2 00:03:59 Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:04:00 Yeah. We have a lot of fun. Uh, kind of just, well, we're, we're also very lucky. Like we get to kind of write what we want. Yeah. And then hopefully like out of all the things that we write, what we wanna write, the label's like Yeah. We're cool with that. But, uh, yeah, we're blessed. They're, they're actually, I don't want to act like we're like, you know, under, uh, under some crazy contract that we can't do what we want to do and express what we wanna express. But, uh, yeah, we just have fun writing. And if you ain't having fun writing your songs, that's always a telltale. Don't write that song. Screw that song. But, uh, yeah. We just, we want something that we're gonna have fun playing and hopefully it's working. We think it's working. It is for sure. I mean, Mike told you about us. Yeah. So it well mean,
Speaker 2 00:04:47 But, but then I got to like, uh, be it your first ever full band live show in Nashville, which was fucking sick by the way. Thank
Speaker 4 00:04:55 You. Was a great show. You can say
Speaker 2 00:04:56 Fuck. Yeah. You can say fuck. Like Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:04:59 I'm like, I dunno what words to use other than fuck <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:05:03 But, uh, I remember sending Mike, that was before Mike lived down here, and I was like, uh, I'm at Lake Views first full band show and you're not dude, sorry about it. And then
Speaker 4 00:05:11 I moved here a week later,
Speaker 5 00:05:12 <laugh> Loser Week, and then he came on tour with us. Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:05:15 Yeah. It
Speaker 3 00:05:16 Was sick. That was really
Speaker 5 00:05:17 Sick. You saw us full band flying to nobody.
Speaker 4 00:05:21 12 people. It was sick. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:05:23 I mean,
Speaker 4 00:05:23 But I gotta be front row the whole time and then make a bunch of videos of you guys spin around circles with you.
Speaker 5 00:05:29 Yeah. It was pretty sick.
Speaker 3 00:05:30 Yeah. You were spinning around circles. I was kind of wondering why you're doing that. And now it's kind of like, why am I not doing that? Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:05:36 Then you did it too.
Speaker 3 00:05:37 Yeah. I thought so. Thought you were on fire, but you
Speaker 4 00:05:39 Weren't. I mean, there's like Freak Bobby thought was on fire.
Speaker 5 00:05:41 It was sick. Those shows were fun. They were fun. Yeah. We, uh, whenever we, I guess when we first started off, we started just kind of writing like whatever naturally came to us. Yeah. And then as we started playing live, especially full band, we, uh, like came into our kind of our sound and we're like, this is the funnest stuff for us to play live. This is what we like writing. Okay, here we go. Yeah. So songs like Poor Me and Hits different and shit like that. That's kind of where we gravitate towards just because we like, we just absolutely love playing those songs live and just freaking out.
Speaker 3 00:06:18 Yeah. I think I think our, our our, like our number one goal in life would be is just to provide music for people like us that are still working every single day. Yeah. Grinding and out. But at the same time, it's like, we also just want to actually go out and party and have fun with all those people as well. Mm. And uh, you know, there's only so many soft songs and sad songs and we love writing that stuff too. And we do have those songs, but the, the rock, the, the southern rocky, uh, country, country vibe is definitely where we're gonna probably land from here on out. Like, I mean, it's, we have a plethora of those songs and we finally got to put out that small town famous ep. Yeah. And, uh, it seems like that connected the best with everybody. And we are super happy because that's what we, that's where we want to be with it. And so yeah. We're
Speaker 2 00:07:09 Stoked. And I think that's like a big part of like, when you're watching the live show, right? Yeah. So when I watch you guys play live, I'm like, this is a rock show and you're just hearing country songs. Yeah. Which is cool. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's very different like, than watching someone that's been playing country music for like 15 years. Yeah. They're like, don't not face the crowd. You know, like you can spin around and come back and you're like, no, I'm gonna like face the band and like get into it. Yeah. Oh yeah. And that's like such being a guy that was like into rock growing up, like that's such a rock thing. Yeah. And I think that's one of the things that's makes your guys' live show, like, for me, super entertaining. And it kind of opens up a different segment of fans for you too. Yeah. For sure. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Speaker 5 00:07:47 We do synchronize headbanging and, uh, <laugh>
Speaker 4 00:07:49 Or you jump in
Speaker 5 00:07:50 The crowd or I jump in the Yeah, I'll go, I'll go. Just rip around the crowd and literally just like, go insane. Yeah. <laugh>, here's the thing. If you see us live, we are having the best time of our life. You might not be right <laugh>, but we fucking are. If
Speaker 3 00:08:04 You're there or not. We are having the best time. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 00:08:07 Mike, Mike is, he can tell you we've played to literally nobody and then played to, you know, 2,500 people with Mitchell Tenpenny. It's the same exact show because we're just there thanking God. We don't have to dig a hole to pay rent. We're just like, this is really fucking awesome. We're just gonna enjoy our time. Yeah. But
Speaker 3 00:08:24 We still have to dig a hole when we get home, the p when we get
Speaker 5 00:08:27 Home.
Speaker 3 00:08:28 But at, but we are still having the time of our lives at that moment. At time we were, yeah,
Speaker 5 00:08:31 We're rock stars at the time, but
Speaker 4 00:08:34 That, uh, Louisville show.
Speaker 5 00:08:36 Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:08:37 The crowd, well, I don't wanna say the crowd, the crowd was going nuts, but there was that small group of people, about four of 'em that were standing there like, we gotta drink my beer in a circle. And you get down there and you're like, Hey, are you having fucking fun? Yeah. And they're like, oh yeah, dude. He's like, cool, let's move around. And then you got the whole, that whole entire group to lose their mind. And I was like, yep. Now there are Lakeview fans for life now. Heck yeah. They're gonna remember that the rest of their lives.
Speaker 5 00:09:01 Listen, we might not be the best band you hear alive, but we're the most fun band you'll ever see alive <laugh>
Speaker 4 00:09:05 By far. Right? I would say by far
Speaker 5 00:09:07 Sonically not sure what's really going on. Sometimes we're just so incredibly drunk and it's just out of control.
Speaker 3 00:09:13 But good drink. I, I think we've had a, like a sound guy, like our own sound guy, like twice ever. And it was like, wow, man, that was really awesome, man. We need that all the time. But we never get that. But I, we just don't care. We're like, yo, to me we're just, we're just going to, we're gonna make you get into it because we're super into it. Like, you gotta you gotta be into, if you, you want people to believe it, you gotta believe it yourself and Yeah. Yeah. And I think we have a little bit of an edge, the fact that we've toured the country for most of our lives. Yes. Playing basements. Right. And VFWs and, and wherever. I mean truck stops and, and, and crap like that. I mean like we, we were playing in the middle of fields on pallet stages and stuff like that. Yeah. And there'll be 10 kids there in the middle of Nebraska and it's like, yeah, yo, that's the stop that day. You're gonna bring it and hopefully sell each one of those kids a t-shirt and they're gonna love you for the rest of your life. But that's not really at the, like, that's not what I'm thinking about when I'm doing that. It's just, that's like, I don't know. I think, I don't know. It's
Speaker 5 00:10:21 Hard Explain. Unfortunate. It's just unfortunate that we're, that like, that's a tool in our toolbox. It's like playing to nobody and winning that one person over.
Speaker 3 00:10:29 Yeah. Yeah. We've been garbage for a lot longer and than what, what you've known us for <laugh>. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 5 00:10:36 We're made of garbage. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:10:38 We're actually garbage people. Yep. Well
Speaker 2 00:10:40 That's super on brand for Rays Rowdy, honestly. Cause like, you know, trash Panda is our
Speaker 5 00:10:44 Masco. Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:10:45 Absolutely. Yeahs awesome. He is nice. Yeah. I'm actually a trash panda myself before you know me. Yeah. I am a trash panda. I started that. I didn't start that. How
Speaker 2 00:10:56 Many, how many tats for Mike do you guys have collectively?
Speaker 5 00:10:59 Altogether? Yeah. Five. I'm all in one arm. Five
Speaker 3 00:11:06 All in one arm. I got
Speaker 4 00:11:07 4, 4, 9, 4 face. Yeah. And then three on. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:11:13 Yeah. I mean, I, I'm falling, I'm falling a little bit behind, but I'm the harmony guy, so I always get second, you know. Yeah. I always get like the second pass. Yeah. That's okay. I guess
Speaker 4 00:11:22 I got time now. Come on in. <laugh>.
Speaker 6 00:11:25 Fucking dude. Seriously. Oh man.
Speaker 2 00:11:29 Well, uh, and, and also one, one of my favorite shows that we've done on Rowdy on the Row was the mic stall takeover that you guys played.
Speaker 5 00:11:36 That shit was insane.
Speaker 3 00:11:37 That was so much fun. It was
Speaker 5 00:11:38 Fun.
Speaker 4 00:11:39 You guys went off. Yeah,
Speaker 5 00:11:40 It was sick. We should
Speaker 4 00:11:41 Probably do one again.
Speaker 5 00:11:42 Yeah, we should. Let's
Speaker 4 00:11:43 Maybe do live band or something.
Speaker 5 00:11:46 Yeah, that would be full band. That'd be sick. Let's
Speaker 3 00:11:47 Do it. I think we should do that. Yes. They do that at Live Oak.
Speaker 2 00:11:51 They absolutely will.
Speaker 3 00:11:52 Yeah. Really? Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:11:53 Might make you the only live or like full band if we do it again.
Speaker 3 00:11:57 Oh, well I don't wanna like, I don't want to. Oh, well why didn't they get to do that? Really? Because
Speaker 4 00:12:02 I like you more than I like them.
Speaker 3 00:12:04 Well, I mean, you tell 'em that. I don't wanna say, I'll be like, I don't know dude. I just showed up. Dad.
Speaker 4 00:12:10 Why I ever not been honest and be like, you guys sucked. Sorry.
Speaker 3 00:12:13 Yeah. Hey, I mean, you are a pretty honest guy. Oh, actually you're honest all the time. Yeah. I'm just sick. I like that about, that's hurt times. I'll say this. It it, I feel like I, I don't wanna feel, I feel like moving from Pittsburgh to Nashville, it's, it's very different. You don't know if people are being honest here. I'm like, are you okay? Like everybody's getting a little pat on the back and I'm like, I need that friendship. Which I got you Mike. And you're just like, nah, dude, that sucked. You guys sounded like shit tonight. But last night was really sick. I'm like, wow. I love that. Useful.

Speaker 3 00:12:48 I hear in national, everybody's like, oh, I love that and this. And I'm like, man, that's cool. And I love all this support, but I'm like, man, I kinda love that brutal, like, honesty that I miss from back home. You know? Where that
Speaker 4 00:13:00 Deep down? Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:13:01 Well, I'm like, whoa dude, dude, you is your friend ready to fight you? I'm like, no man, no. Just tell me what's up. You're like, like, oh shit. I miss that at that environment a little bit. You know? It's kind of nice to have somebody sharpen you a little bit.
Speaker 4 00:13:14 I wish people told me I suck at tattooing more. Yeah. But bad. I'm like, no, I should have done that. <laugh> should have not done that. What's

He's like, just, we've been together for so long, it doesn't even matter anymore. Like, alright, 20 years, fine. I'll do it. I did it. Three months later he comes in and once it covered up, cuz she was cheating at him the whole entire time. Oh no.

Speaker 2 00:15:53 Well, let's talk about those Mitchell shows. So that was like kind of right during the pandemic, like so when pretty much only Florida was letting shows happen. Oh yeah. Which is awesome.
Speaker 3 00:16:02 The greatest state on in the as of right now. Yeah.
Speaker 5 00:16:06 Shout out DeSantis. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:16:07 Yeah. DeSantis. God bless you, man. He does whatever the fuck he wants. He literally doesn't care. Remember when we used to all be able to do whatever fuck we want. Well, in Florida you still can and DeSantis is doing it. God bless him, man. This is one
Speaker 5 00:16:19 Big ad for Florida. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:16:22 Well it's, uh, but they were so, I mean the Southeast was pretty open, but Florida was like definitely wide open. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:16:29 Yeah. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 00:16:30 Which was a blessing. It was great. It was great. I thought I was gonna have to start driving to Florida just to go to shows and I lived in freaking Nashville. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 5 00:16:37 <affirmative>. Yeah. Those shows were absolutely sick. We did 'em, we did 'em acoustic. Uh, we did some with Easton Corbin, uh, did a New Year's show with Lee Bryce and some other little tiny one-offs here and there. And I mean, we literally played Florida like eight times within one month. It was awesome.
Speaker 3 00:16:57 It was sick. Yeah, it was great. Honestly, that great fans there and like they, I I think they knew they had the niche. Yeah. They're like, oh yeah, we are getting everybody right now. <laugh>. We're getting everybody fuck everybody. Like they knew that all these artists were right about to flood that market and they were just super stoked. Yeah. I mean everybody was just so pumped up and uh, and I can't wait to go back. It sucks that it's like everywhere led off and then we don't get to go back. Yeah. I'm like, son of a bitch, dude, I want to go back to Florida still. Like just to get my immunity to back, you know what I mean? It's like just to test my antibodies. Yeah. <laugh>. Yeah. Gotta do it.
Speaker 2 00:17:35 That's when you know you got 'em when you gotta Florida and you don't come back with a cough.
Speaker 3 00:17:38 Oh yeah. Yeah. You're, you're set. I mean, the Santa Snows what he's doing. We're good. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:17:45 Oh man. So how often do you guys end up playing around town? I know you play like writers rounds here and there. Yeah. And Whiskey Jam. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I saw you at Whiskey Jam, which is dope.
Speaker 5 00:17:53 Yeah. Shout out Ward, your man. Yeah. The best. Yeah. We don't, we don't necessarily play too much around here. Yeah. Um, couple times a year. Yeah. I mean, we've done that one full band show at at the High. Wed wanna do another one. Yes. We'd like to do another one probably early next year. Just like a proper one. Yeah. Um, get some of our homies to play with us Yeah. And just kind of put on a big show. Yeah. Um, we were actually talking about doing something where we kind of bring like our kind of where we come from, like playing, you know, like the shows that we always played. The shows in Nashville are not shows. Yeah. They're like showcases.
Speaker 3 00:18:32 They're like viewings. They're almost like,
Speaker 5 00:18:34 It's like it's not, it's not that it's not fun. It's just not fun. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like, like
Speaker 2 00:18:39 All the booking reps are there and
Speaker 5 00:18:41 Yeah. It's, it's like a, it's a pony show and, and it's a cool, it's cool to go see a band play and it obviously sounds awesome because
Speaker 3 00:18:47 It's like, let's be real. Almost all of them. Everybody's sitting down. It's just weird. Hey. It's just weird
Speaker 5 00:18:52 Shit.
Speaker 3 00:18:52 Yeah. That's terrible. That sucks. Yeah.
Speaker 5 00:18:54 So we, we grew up playing VFW halls and like Moose Lodges and bringing around sound equipment or like running it yourself with just two speakers just for the vocals. And then so like, we want to, we, we were looking or um, I was looking online to like see is there a V F W hall in Nashville somewhere that hasn't been like, taken over by hipsters Yeah. Because a bunch of 'em have like, they're like, yeah, PBR and Bingo night. I'm like, no, that's not what a 75 year old veteran is doing right now. You know
Speaker 3 00:19:26 What I mean? Yeah. Absolutely not.
Speaker 5 00:19:27 So he's drinking Vladimir and he's pissed and he hates his family. So we want to, uh, find a shitty VFW hall and rent it out and throw like a legit d i y show and show Nashville how to actually have a show. Yeah. And be like $5 a cup, come in and you have your a kegger and you just rage and it's just like three or four bands and everybody plays a full set and there's no shaking hands and doing anything like business. It's just actually like having a party.
Speaker 3 00:19:59 I mean, y'all have to kind of agree a little bit. Yeah. Since you moved to Nashville, how much fun are shows compared to, to your summer? Your summer fucking lineup. Starlight. Yeah. That you look forward to all year. That like where you're dropping gates and, and just going absolute batshit crazy the whole time. You actually can't do that here. Like it's,
Speaker 5 00:20:23 It's definitely
Speaker 3 00:20:23 Frowned upon. Really Drives me. Wow. Yeah. I'm like, this is, I don't, I don't know if I want to see him in this light. I'm like, I want to go see him like in a, a hours fair. Yeah. Down

Speaker 5 00:21:00 I'm not sure he has any like, for sure experience playing those types of like, real shitty like VFW shows. But you show 'em how to do it. But I mean, it's just so much fun. And I think it would be a nice break for people. I think people would be confused. They'd be like, what is this? This doesn't like drop ceiling, no stage, but like that's
Speaker 2 00:21:18 You no free tickets for anyone. No. You want a free ticket? No, absolutely not. No. Five bucks. Five bucks.

Speaker 3 00:32:55 Back to the B like Yeah, that's they Havet. I like that too.
Speaker 2 00:32:59 I wish we were sponsored by Bush Light, but we're not.
Speaker 3 00:33:02 Who are we sponsored by? Yeah. Who are we sponsored by? We
Speaker 2 00:33:04 Actually have some podcast sponsors. Woo. Which is a blessing. Great segue. Uh, for the first time ever, I'm talking about one of the things that honestly when you guys were playing those VFWs you probably could have used. Yeah, we
Speaker 3 00:33:15 Definitely could have used
Speaker 2 00:33:16 This. Uh, we have an amazing sponsor that is actually when you guys play the Mike Stole takeover that, I don't know if you told you you're playing again, but you are. Hell yeah. That's the thing. Uh, we have a streaming provider called My Set. It's a, my set, it's an app. Basically you download the My Set App. It's a free platform so you can tip on it. So when, if someone tips the band, you get a hundred percent of the pro streets. They don't take any fee out like Venmo's trying to do. If you get over $600 or whatever, none of that.
Speaker 3 00:33:44 Let's go. I love that. Yeah. That already sounds perfect. So,
Speaker 2 00:33:48 Um, how do you make that money? You get it from song requests. So like if you are an artist that is getting song requests, you can have them request songs right on there from the QR code. Also, they have print on demand merch. Right. So like you guys could have a Lakeview shirt on there, someone hits that code, they would go right to that shirt and be able to purchase it. They'd ship it for you.
Speaker 3 00:34:07 It's amazing. It's absolutely amazing. They can do that crazier. It's almost unbelievable. Keep Tell me more.
Speaker 2 00:34:14 Yeah. And then they also have a thing where you could be like, kind of like a, a monthly sponsor. So like you guys could have a thing where it's like they could give $20 a month to Lakeview. Right. Help pay for that gas when you're going down to Florida to see DeSantis, you know,
Speaker 3 00:34:26 <laugh>, praise God. Oh yeah. Praise God.
Speaker 2 00:34:29 And then also, um, like their top artists right now are making about $2,000 extra a month using this service. Wow. That's awesome. And um, if you use Code Rowdy, like, so if you're an up and coming artist and you're someone that's playing gigs out at VFWs or Cover gigs, wherever you are at a nice Mexican restaurant and you use Code Rowdy, you can, when you sign up, you can actually get a free six foot sign from my set where people can donate. They'll hit right to your page from it. And if you come to Rowdy on the Row, you're gonna be seeing these guys doing the streaming for us. You can listen and watch the streams on our Facebook as long as they don't shut us down. And, uh, basically love America the best by loving music and supporting artists.
Speaker 3 00:35:15 That's right.
Speaker 2 00:35:16 Yeah. If you're at our Rowdy on the row, all the tips are gonna be pulled and given to all the artists that are pa playing for us that night, which is gonna be dope. So hopefully it's like That's cool. An as load of money, but some's more than none. Yep. Like
Speaker 3 00:35:30 $7 and 50 cents feel. I feel like it might be like, what's half an ass load of money? Like a
Speaker 2 00:35:35 Cheek load? I
Speaker 3 00:35:36 Think a cheek load of money. Yeah. No cheek loads great though. I mean, that's great.
Speaker 2 00:35:40 It's better than no money, which is like Yeah, absolutely. What I make most of the
Speaker 5 00:35:43 Time. That's good. It's better. Better than being cheek list dude.
Speaker 2 00:35:46 Yeah. <laugh>. And then we have a second sponsor. Like, I dunno, have you guys ever heard of gambling? But I love to generate things like gambling.
Speaker 3 00:35:52 Yeah, absolutely. I
Speaker 2 00:35:53 Love it. If you're in Tennessee, which we are right now, praise God. Uh, action 24 7 is Tennessee's only Tennessee own Sportsbook. Everyone else is like outsiders. Dude, these guys are in Tennessee and if you download the app, another luxurious app that if you hit that QR code for our live event, you'll see the action 24 7. You can download it right from there too. Um, action 24 7. You can get a $400 dollar for dollar match on your first deposit by using code. You guessed it. Rowdy.
Speaker 5 00:36:25 Woo,
